Visitors enter beneath a billboard featuring Terry ‘The Pill’ Slater, a fly-posting legend. An ambient film further sets the scene, while the corridor traces the vibrant, checkered history of postering. On display in the courtyard are striking photographs of street fly from the 1960s through to the 2000’s. Thanks to Jealous Gallery, visitors can roll up their sleeves for free public screen printing sessions across the weekend of 1st and 2nd November.

Histories come alive through vernacular interview texts and glimpses of audio. There’s ‘Three Tales From Manchester’ plus documentary interviews and a cinematic montage of fly-posting that’s appeared in film and TV. A look at street postering as it's portrayed in lens-based media, literature and visual art presents some surprising findings. A postcard from Barcelona reminds visitors that fly-posting is a global phenomenon. Displays outside The CarWash showcase contemporary artists who’ve used street posters in their practice. A programme of Lunchtime Talks by activists, artists and academics will take place here on Sunday 2nd November.

This display site offers visitors the chance to fly-post prints of Martin Rowson’s reworking of an Atelier Populaire poster.
